1887, the following resolutions were un-
animously adopted:
Whereas The evening of October 3rd,

DEATHS DOINGS.

To the Editor of the Western Kansas World:
Please allow space for the following
concerning the death of Maria Ann
Brown. Maria Ann Brown was born
April IA, 1858; died April 16, 1887, aged
"a years and 2 days. She embraced
religion in the fall of 1876 She died in
the triumph of faith. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. S. M.
Lee, of Nicodemus, Pastor of the second
Baptist church of Wa-Keeney. Text:
Isaiah 3Sth chapter LIST verse: "Set thine
House in order, for thou shalt die, and
not i've" She leaves husband and
nine children to morn her loss. Nav
more take warning and set their houses
In order! S. M. Lee.
The deceased was the wife of our fell
iow-townsman, Geo. d. Brown. The
World extends to him and his family
its sincerest sympathy. A home without
a mother is lonely unto wretchedness.

BURDEN OF BoURBoNIsM.

The load of Bourbonism grows heavier
with the passage of the years. The
national drill which is to take place in
Washington city next month has not
been defeated by the determination OF
the Montgomery True Blues and Grays
and the Atlanta Rifles not to have any
thing to do with it on account of the
admission of colored companies as partic-
ipants.> On the other hand, these
vacancies have more than been filled by
the admission of additional troops from
other parts.
Ii is plain to the average American citl-
xen that national competitive drill of the
militia Of the various states would be a
farce without the presence of any colored
organizations. Colored people are
citizens, and have not-only the right, but
Il is one Of their duties. to bear arms.
Democrats have fought against the
freedom of the colored man. They have
Fought against his enfranchisement.
They have fought against his sharing of
oiyil rights. Yet slowly, but surely, that
old huIk of party is keeping tread with
the advanced progress begotten by the
Republican organization.

1T has not been our intention to
wait until now TO mention The connection
of Theo. Sternberg, Esq, with the
Abilene Gazette, as associate editor. Mr..
Sternberg was the house reporter last
winter for the Daily Commonwealth. lie
is pains-taking, comprehensive, brilliant
writer. Publisher Rohrer has made a
hit in employing Mr.. Sternberg, not only
because of his literary qualifications for
the position, but because he is a resident
of northwestern Kansas, and will make
the Gdecf5e many friends in this, Che best
quarter of Kansas. On this point, we feel
just this way about Sternberg: LII The
Gazette ever does say any thing against
this region, we shall be sure that some
body else wrote it. However, we happen
to know that paper to be a friend OF
northwestern Kansas, and appreciate this
fact.

Eastern Tiems of the Coal Trade.

Ne,o YOrk.-The effort on the part of
the producers to pool them or syn
dictate their interests, still goes on, and
those affecting to be advised of what
is going on assert that they are about
to definitely arrange such a syndicate
for the settlement Of percentages of
soft coal deliveries at the seabOard as
will enable them advance quotations
and maintain them throughout the
season. The demand for soft coal is
certainly very heavy and the trade
prospects encom aging on all Sides

The market for soft coal continues
extremely active. 1t is now claimed
that the following are the correct per

cent. Pocahontas, l04 per cent. :
Chesapeake and Ohio, 10! per cent ;

per cent. Be this as il may, the next
point and the main one. we Should
say, is how much money is IN. com

ators i'll the Cumberland district have
already agreed 10 give their men an
advance in wages. dating from the let
OF March next. the ;imOuNf OF such
advance depending upon the price
established for the coal for the present

have to pay an advance. The prices

ports are to be agreed upon it is said
this week. No bids are reported from
Boston on the Fitchburg contract, and.
therefore it looks now as if the pool
would hold.--Coal Trade ,Journql
The producers Of this coal have
practically none to offer for sale. We
have heard OF S. having been paid
here, while much higher prices
could be obtained. LIN Boston 81 $50
s. has been paid. The supply of cars
on the Pennsylvania road is very
scarce. The Baltimore is furnishing
a liberal supply, but vessels are so
scarce and freights so high that but
little is doing from Baltimore. The
demand for bituminous coal, partially
owing to the strike of the anthracite
coal handlers, is very large.
The bituminous coal pool is making
satisfactory progress, but there are still
many uotdiis " SelIlc' Inc COdl coiIi-
panies, both in the Clearfeld and
Cumberland region, have promised
their miners an increase in wages on

put upon a satisfactory basis by that
time, which it is expected to do by
means of the new pool.
Boston.-There is slightly inn
proved outlook visible. While spot
coal is much sought for and would
command from $4.75@$5, according to
the exigency of the buyer, yet we look
to see Lowell figures obtained soon. A
number of cargoes are bound to this

enough, no one has cared to talk of

IN MEMORIAM.

Died in Washington, D. c. January 1857,
Miss CATHARINE LEMMERT.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath,
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o DEATH
With heart deeply touched with sense
of sadness, and the fading of all earthly
things, we take our pen in hand to write
tribute to departed worth, and mingle our
affectionate sympathy with the sad and
sorrowing
1t is difficult 70 realize that one yet 50
young, so full of hope has been touched by
the death angel and gathered to the grave,
yet
"Gone to the grave in all thy glorious prime
In full activity of zeal and power,
A Christian cannot die before his time
The Lords appointment is the servants
hour"
The subject of our notice in early life con-
nected herself with the Lutheran church Of
which she continued faithful member to
the day of her death.
Her nature was so open, so true, so gen.
erous and liberal, that out of many hearts
will often come the vain but pleading cry:
Oh for the touch of vanished hand
And the sound of voice that is still.
"Why should we weep for those who die?
Those blessed ones who weep no more
Jesus called them to the sky,
And gladly have they gone before.
"For them no bitter tears we shed,
Their nights of pain and grief are DER;
But weep our lonely path to tread
And see the form we love no more.
